Vivek,

Use CurrentFolder property of Explorer object.

pseudocode: ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = MyFolder;

Thanx Fedor,

Actually i was trying the same but i was not getting the intellisense after I put the dot after ActiveExplorer method and that is because, i was not putting up the braces after the ActiveExplorer method.

so, "ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder" was not working
and "ActiveExplorer().CurrentFolder" is working perfectly.

I have written a code to change the CurrentExplorer by clicking a command bar button. What i have used is

Step1:- getting a root folder of the session
step2:- Looping through the RootFolder.Folders collection to get my Custom Folder which is again a root folder for all my custom folder(s)
Step3: After Getting my custom Root folder object i am looping through to get my custom sub folder under this custom root folder.
Step4 : Once i get the Desired Folder Object i assign the ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder to that object
Step5 : Break

So my concerned here is to ask, is this approach is Okey or any other approach to get the desired folder object directly and assign it to current folder property exist.

Best Regards,
